  • Patent number: 4290529
    Abstract: A rack for boat fenders of the type having a cylindrical body from each end of which extends a rectangular protuberance that defines a line attaching eye. The rack is formed of elongate members so as to be of open construction and includes upper and lower elongate rigid members that are bent to form aligned openings sized to receive and support a fender in vertical orientation. Extending beneath the lower opening is a member which is offset from the center line of the opening so as to support the body of the fender but to permit the eye-forming protuberance to extend therebelow. Means for removably attaching the fender racks to a ship rail or like so that the position of the racks can be conveniently established at a location to afford convenient access to the fenders.
